The Sun in Leo

Your cosmic guide to life with the Sun in Leo

Get ready for a roaring good time! The Sun is moving into larger-than-life Leo from July 22 to Aug. 22, and the world is about to become more fun, creative and romantic while the loving Lion rules.

As we emerge from the sweet, sentimental days of Sun in Cancer, we'll feel a burst of new energy and more desire to go out on the town and socialize. While Cancer loves to snuggle up at home where it's safe, bold Leo wants to get out there and grab lots of attention.

Those born from July 19-25 were born on the Cancer-Leo cusp, and those born from about August 19-25 were born on the Leo-Virgo cusp. Being born on the cusp simply means that you were born during the transition time between two zodiac signs, so you retain some qualities from each sign.

You can see what's in store for your month ahead with a 30-day Astrology Forecast, but one thing's for sure -- life is about to get a lot more lively!

This is great mid-summer news for those of us who want to play in the sun and make lots of love! Leo is one sexy beast, so let's celebrate by making the most of life during Sun in Leo.

Celebrate by making the most of life during Sun in Leo!

What to do: Reach for the stars! Confident Leo doesn't hold back, so now's the time to go after what you want -- whether it's a relationship, a job or a new project or adventure. Leo is strong (some would say aggressive), outgoing and ambitious, so you're sure to succeed when there's such determined energy in the air.

What to say: Everything! Bold Leo is an expressive sign that doesn't hold anything back. Whatever you want to declare -- be it love or war -- now 's the time for all manner of creative, loving and fearless expression.

Where to go: The theater, but don't just watch the show -- get up on that stage and the center, because Leo loves the limelight. You'll also have a great time at the park or just the neighborhood pub, as Leo loves to play games and flirt.

What to wear: Something glamorous and sexy, of course. Leo dresses to get noticed, so put on your finest. We're talking lots of bright colors like red and hot pink, and be as daring as you like -- nothing is too short or too low-cut for Leo.

What to watch out for: Leo is sexy and self-assured, which can sometimes come across as vanity or arrogance. Be careful of being too pushy or aggressive during this time. Also, it's good to speak fearlessly from the heart, but be careful of others' feelings. Leo loves to purr, but this cat can also bite.

What to look forward to: Expect lots of love and affection and attention from the cuddly Lion. This adds up to a great time when you're out and about, and if you're lucky enough to have someone you love at home you'll be playfully pawing each other non-stop.
